Lyrics: Forever Mine

Forever mine
All because you’re my kind, oh, baby
I got what you want, you got what I want
And we were made for each other, ooh

Forever mine
And I’m so glad ’cause it gets better with time, oh, girl
I like what you like, you like what I like
And we were made for each other

Oh, baby, you are that someone
I’ve been hopin’, I’ve been lookin’ all my days
Don’t you ever think about leavin’
This heart of mine would be grievin’
Don’t go, stay, stay

Forever mine

And we were made for each other, ooh, oh, girl

Oh, baby, I wanna love you
Love you so, make it good right down to the bone, to the bone

But I ain’t never had nobody

We go together
Well, like birds in the trees
Empty in a world of troubles, girl
If you wasn’t here with me, stay
